Did you know

  • Trivia
    Heavy-set, tough-looking character actor from the Broadway stage (debut 1906). Had begun his career as an usher. Often played brutal prison officials or ship captains. However, when the occasion demanded, his grim, authoritarian features lent themselves as easily to comedy as to villainy.
